The webinars for newly admitted students aim to guide you through the important steps on your journey to KTH. We also invite you to join our digital student community, where you can meet and celebrate with your new classmates. In addition, you may receive invitations to programme specific events and networking events for students from your home country or region.
Webinars
By following the instructions on the website, you can complete all preparations before heading to Sweden. But we also give you the opportunity to meet us in our webinars for newly admitted students, where we provide you with further guidance and explain the steps you need to take. You will also have the chance to ask questions to KTH staff and students.
Why choose KTH
At this webinar from March 2024, Researcher Björn Thuresson & master's student Rafael explain 5 out of several reasons to choose KTH. They introduce our view on sustainability and its integration in the education, the close connection KTH has with industry, our research and innovation that foster the future of technology and how an education with us will impact your future. Tune in if you want to be even more certain about choosing KTH.
Admitted to KTH? These are your next steps
Did you just get admitted to KTH? Congrats! Now it's time to start prepping your to-do list with your next steps, and we're here to help. At this webinar from March 2024, current master's students Sai & Rafael invited KTH staff member Ida, and together the trio introduce what you need to do next as a newly admitted KTH student. The information shared is relevant to both fee paying and non fee paying students.
Accommodation at KTH - and where to find it
Are you on a house-hunting journey? At this webinar from April 2024, Lorenzo and Samantha discuss accommodation as a KTH student. Fee-paying students can apply for accommodation via KTH, and the hosts have invited Susanne from KTH Accommodation to introduce you to it further. They will also talk about how to move forward with your house hunt if you belong to a student group that can't apply via the university.
Your arrival guide to KTH
August is getting closer, meaning KTH is getting closer! Sai has invited KTH staff member Julia to this webinar aired in May 2024. Together, they will make your arrival at KTH as pleasant and smooth as possible. They give you information about arrival days and other happenings that are good to know as a newly arrived KTH student. They will also provide a handy checklist of things you need to get settled when arriving in Sweden.
Introduction to studies at KTH
This informative webinar from May 2024 is designed to make your transition to the Swedish education system and studies at KTH as smooth as possible. How do you register for courses? What do you need to look out for in terms of plagiarism? And is the use of AI allowed? All this including what support is available for you at KTH, both when studying and for your future career. KTH Library is taking part in introducing the resources they offer (hint: it's more than you might think!).
Join KTH's student community
We will invite you to join our digital student community, an app powered by Goin' Connect. You have received an invitation link to access the community in our newsletter. In the app, you can connect with other students from your country and study programme to build your network and find students with similar interests.
Connect with a KTH student
Between 25 March and 14 April, a current KTH student will contact you and offer a digital meeting where you have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about your master’s programme and student life at KTH. They will provide practical advice to make your move to Stockholm as smooth as possible.
THS events
